Microsoft are getting mauled on Insta for this advert, and rightly so.

@GossiTheDog Sent this to a close friend whose startup is actually trying to fix fucked meeting cultures. Said Microsoft is now doing presales for him.

From the AWS CloudFormation docs ...

"Fn::If": [condition_name, value_if_true, value_if_false]

Or, as Greenspun put it,

"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of CommonLisp."

@holgerschurig The point I was trying to make was just that it's frustrating to use tools that clearly aren't ideal for the job at hand. Specifically, conditional statements in JSON (or YAML for that matter). At the point you need that, you really should be offering an actual language rather than a serialisation format. May be time to consider migration to CDK.
